If you happen to be parked at the Lakeview Mall last week you may have received a ticket on you windshield of your vehicle.
Citizens on patrol (COPS) volunteers, Ruby Matsko and Tim Maertz walked around the parking lot leaving people tips on how to keep their belongings and vehicles safe from theft.
COPS are the eyes and ears for the community who actively patrol our area looking for incidents of crime.
They are always seeking new members to help volunteer. If you are interested please call Ruby Matsko, COPS coordinator at (250) 692-7705 or Cst. Don Gunn at Burns Lake RCMP (250) 692-7171.
